sorry, I figured you had a rotary, they are prety easy to build, I have a Tos lathe that the motor runs continiously, I rigged a start circuit to run on single phase, once running it drops the single phase and runs fine, it is 5hp so now it acts like a rotary phase converter, runs the shop fine, the mill and lathe will run fine at the same time, rotary are prety easy to build, if one uses a large enough motor with lots of iron its hard to overload it
